Sad to see Norville go

I am sorry to see Deborah Norville's show go off the air. Norville is intelligent, artiulate, funny, and a fine interviewer. The show is gone because its rating were so poor. In its place will be a new show with Tucker Carlson.

I am left wondering why the show didn't generate better ratings. Have we had so much screaming and interrupting that we have no idea how to watch an intelligent and civilized interview program? Or did the show tank because MSNBC went out of its way not to market it? I don't recall seeing any cross-promoton for it, but I may have missed cross-promotion because I do not watch the network that much.

I hope Norville emerges on another network; she is too good to just walk away.
